12:23, LOL, union guy patting himself on the back for his 95% success rate.When all the union really did was choose every Democrat in a area where nearly every Democrat wins no matter how poor they are .There would be a 95% success with or without the union endorsement.

Sbranti was a huge loss. My God, he barely got a majority of the vote in the Alameda County portion of the district.Explain that one, Mr. Union.51.4% to 48.6% in Alameda County where the union is supposed to be so powerful. Barely got half the votes.

I guess the anti union troll who posted the last 4 is happy for his very few victories, but I'll take 95% any day. BTW we swept all the statewide offices again but I don't hear you talking about all your loses.

You may also want to clean up your sexist foul mouth and you wouldn't be such a loser like almost all your candidates. See you in 2016 when I suppose you will be running for the Hayward City Council for the forth time. Maybe if you clean up your act you might get more than 4% this next time in Hayward. I doubt either will happen. :)

Half the people I know have moved or are moving out of California because job opportunities are better elsewhere. The PPIC reports that more than 6 million Californians live below the poverty line, an increase of 4% from 2006. Bloomberg reports that that the number of millionaires in CA increased by 3%.

Half the reason we need a new minimum wage is because workers no longer have any power regarding better wages.Unfortunately most Democrats are fully supportive of immigration reform that, in their version, will only bring in more and more lower skilled workers who will drive wages down such that only a minimum wage law keep the pay from going even lower.Seems there is a total disconnect between Democratic officer holders and the well being of the millions of lower skilled, lower income workers.There was a time, before the flood of undocumented workers, that warehousemen, roofers, carpenters, and so many others made decent wages. But when you have newly arriving undocumented workers willing to work for lower wages and no benefits, then all workers are pulled into the basement.The legislative leaders of the Democratic party seem more intent on helping undocumented workers than workers who are long time citizens and legal immigrants.

No matter what your political opinion, the laws of supply and demand, are the most powerful force in deciding wages.That subject is totally avoided by local Democratic leaders.The lower income workers are suffering from this avoidance.

Ask a carpenter what his wages are today compared to 20 years ago. Ask him what benefits he gets now.Unless you are one of the few public employee carpenters, or working on a taxpayer funded projects, then you are thrown into a very sad wage structure where contractors hire subcontractors who use 75% undocumented workers.Check out any local residential construction project.Everyone knows who is working on the sites and why the wages are lower than they were 20 years ago.

Now, local workers get tossed a fig leaf of a higher minimum wage. Gee, thanks

I'll call you a liar. I have watch you post on different candidates (dozens of them on this blog) and your success rate is pitiful. You are always foul-mouthed, sexist and anti union. The Democratic party had over a 95% success rate in the elections and so did the Labor Unions. Your conservatives had a even lower rate of success. We swept ALL the statewide races and if you think Reed is the next Governor of our great state you are really mentally unbalanced. Gavin Newsome, Kamala Harris and John Chiang might have something to say about that. When you ran for city council in Hayward you got less than 5% of the vote. What a loser!

Well let's see 9:46. You lost every statewide race, most local and county races, and by my count only won 4 races in all of the Bay Area. I like those odds and percentages.

Swalwell has a very liberal voting record, and had many liberal endorsements. More unions backed Raburn than backed Tam, and Raburn has admitted to bringing in the wrong labor negotiator that helped cause the strike. Liccardo has already promised to try and patch up his discord with the employees, and Baker will probably lose in 2016 when there will be a much larger and progressive turn-out.

But I'm glad you are happy about your very small success rate. The sweet smell of victory was ours, and I think you know it, unless you are delusional.

The people's candidates were the union and Democratic candidates as shown by the huge 95% success rate. Since we know you have posted against, and said you worked against so many of the winners in your posts, your success rate was less than 5%, just like the % of votes you received when you last ran for Hayward City Council. What a loser you are!

Amen brother or sister. Don't let the anti union sexist poster throw out misleading facts. Most of us are very happy that the East Bay is both a Democratic and Union stronghold. Looks like a majority of the State is too, which led to the sweep of all the Statewide offices.

Wishing our dear Catharine, Sam, Bob and Eric all a very happy Thanksgiving. We are blessed to have you all as our representatives. Mr. Maxwell and I are very pleased that the union whores returned to the gutter where they belong.

Love the fact that the people's choice candidates, the union backed Democrats, won ALL the statewide races and most of the local ones in spite of the out-of town conservatives pouring millions of dollars into local and state races. Most of us liberals are very happy with the way the California elections went, including the dozens and dozens of bay area victories. The unions and environmentalists racked up huge wins. Happy Holidays everyone.

To the wet dreamers, hey, we took everything we concentrated on. Always working for independent Democrats who stand up to the union whores. Next up, State Senator Steve Glazer in 2016 and Governor Chuck Reed in 2018. Democrats of whom we can be proud!

The All-Star Team of Cathy, Eric, Bob and Sam say have a great holiday season, ya'll!

To the above poster, are you really that stupid? Chuck Reed wouldn't have a chance against Gavin Newsome or Kamala Harris and Glazer came in third in his Assembly race.

Also, clean up your language if you want anyone to take you seriously. From what I can read in the above posts the Democrats and the unions are very happy that they won almost all the races in our area and so am I.

Thanks for the truth! May the union whores do 'as well' as they did in Dublin, San Jose, Pleasanton, Wisconsin and elsewhere in the new year. I'll continue to do my part by taking a dump on them each and every time. Woo hoo!

My husband and I also could never bring ourselves to support dirty union whores. We don't believe in robbing the taxpayers' pockets to line those of filthy special interests.

Our sincere thanks to the person who continues to defend us over the larded union sluts. Our household is solidly behind Governor Chuck Reed and our next state senator Steve Glazer. As life-long Democrats, we had no trouble supporting clean Cathy Baker over the dirty incompetent who went down to defeat. Thanks to the independent-minded voters in the district clean politicians who are not beholden to the corrupt union whores will rule the day for decades to come.

I agree the voter turn out in 2016 will be much larger and much more progressive. This spells doom for Baker who won in an extremely low turn out year with a much higher percentage of conservative voters. I know my spouse and I will be voting in 2016 and will be voting for Tim Sbranti if he runs.

As far as Robert Rayburn is concerned, he is a Democrat, was supported by most unions, and promised the BART unions he made a mistake and would work with them in helping secure a better contract next time.

You lost every statewide race, most local and county races, and by my count only won a couple races in all of the Bay Area. I love that you lost most of your races.

More unions backed Raburn than backed Tam, and Raburn has admitted to bringing in the wrong labor negotiator that helped cause the strike. Baker will probably lose in 2016 when there will be a much larger and progressive turn-out.

We will win even more in 2016 when we defeat Baker with a younger and more progressive turn out.
